body
Feminism demands a future free of fat shaming, body obsession and the male gaze.
You Don't Have To Be Slim Or Look A Certain WayTo Enjoy Sex And Relationships.
When I dress, I often look a little slimmer than I actually am. My body can be deceiving. I'm about 4ft in height, with a DD-G chest (depending on the shop that I use!). I have an apple tummy and chunky arms. My tummy is round and plump, it is certainly not washboard or skinny!

The female gaze
Through her eyes The term "female gaze" was coined by feminist film theorist ,Laura Mulvey, in order to combat the "male gaze"theories. To say that women don't have to exist in a world where they are under the attention of straight men at all times. Nor do they have to be represented by anyone in a negative or untrue way. To say that there is a chance to be seen as beautiful, sexual, and intelligent human being without being considered an accessory. There is a chance to lead and feel heard. So that women don't feel that they have to subject themselves to the idea that in order to be desired,or respected, they have to take part in the male fantasy. Whereas the male gaze may be focused on sexualizing and objectifying women, the female gaze is the opposite. Being that it focuses on how there is more to a woman than just her body and sexuality. However her sexuality is still a part of her, it's just a small aspect of who she is. Not her entire personality, or reason for being on earth.

Women's Adverse Reactions to Birth Control
Women who rely on some form of artificial contraception are increasingly sharing stories about the unexpected, sometimes devastating, side effects. They admit to feeling duped by medical providers who warn them about migraines, nausea, and weight gain, but not about suicidal ideation, blood clots, and embolisms. Medical providers, meanwhile, are influenced by billion-dollar drug companies and political lobbyist pressure to widely prescribe birth control.

Body Acceptance. Top Story - March 2022.
Like most (if not all) women and girls, I have insecurities about my body. I’ve had these insecurities since I was nine years old. I take after the women in my mother’s family, curves everywhere. Even when I’ve been at my skinniest, I’ve had curves. Wide hips, big chest, and always a bit of fat around my belly, thighs, calves and upper arms. I’m 5’5, and my skinniest was 135lbs, wearing a size 2. My weight has gone up, then down, then up, then down, then up again. I’m currently 255lbs, wearing a size 20. I feel the same way about my body now, as I did then. As far as I can tell, those curves and that thickness is always there. The only difference is how obvious it is in photos, how big those curves are. I’ll never have a flat stomach. My arms and legs will never look skinny in proportion to the rest of me. These are facts.

Dear mirror, please tell me why should I trust you?
"For I do not exist: there exist but the thousands of mirrors that reflect me. With every acquaintance I make, the population of phantoms resembling me increase. Somewhere they live, somewhere they multiply. I alone do not exist." - Vladimir Nabokov

The Playlist for Your Entire Cycle
Let’s be real – periods haven’t had the best PR team. They’re positioned as the biggest inconvenience with no fun to be had (and for some folks, yes this can be the case). Which certainly doesn’t set the stage for a healthy and positive relationship with our periods.

My Birth Control Pills Gave Me a Blood Clot
The pain was sudden. Unfamiliar. Uncalled for. Throbbing and heavy. Unlike anything I had ever felt before. It was a Wednesday evening. I had just gotten home from work and popped a migraine medicine for the persistent headache that had been with me all day. I had plans I wanted to keep for the night. But as I was about to leave the house, I felt it. A sudden aching pain in my arm.
